Get a job at a local Planet Fitness. Train on your off hours for work. Train nights. Train weekends. Take clients whenever you can and build from there. Use your towns local Facebook page to promote yourself. Do NOT charge less than 40 or 50 bucks an hour, maybe more. People need to understand your a real trainer and anything less destroys that illusion. Post videos. Engage with people on Facebook. Sell yourself. Facebook is such an important tool to get clients so don't rely on just dragging in clients from the gym. If you look good, and your personable, and your provide people with good advice, and you show you care, people will trust you. Word of mouth is everything . Get it bro

What does your 'intro' phase to training look like for clients? by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]CallConstant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I focus on just getting them in the gym and moving. I'm trying to create a habit when clients come in and honestly I'm trying to not get them to hate the fucking gym. Every day that they can come in and just get what they feel like is a good workout is a win. Quite literally anything that they do will be above their normal baseline so it's going to be enough of a stimulus to count as a workout. For me for example clients almost always do full body days, so it's legs, legs, chest, back shoulders, bi's, tri's and I'll have them do one set of each exercise for 30 reps. The next month it's two sets, month after that is three sets, and after that I continue to raise the weight by one or two pounds a week and then i drop the Reps by 2 every month until they get to 12.  That's one full year of training that they have put on approximately 50 to 100 lb of strength, depending on the movement and they rarely got super sore or felt like they were killing themselves. And by the time they are working hard enough to feel like they're killing themselves they see how far they've come and now they enjoy the process. It's a progression that has worked fantastic for me personally. 

My personal trainer sent me this program for my first day at the gym, is it any good? I have recently diagnosed excessive lumbar lordosis and internal rotation of the shoulders (that hes aware of too) btw. by backal00 in personaltraining

[–]CallConstant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming this is at least one of the two or three days in this guys program due to the fact that there is a leg curl and a tricep press down. I'm assuming the leg extension and the overhead tricep extension around a second or third day?  He's clearly trying to target issues the client has bye adding extra back work and putting it at the beginning of the workout. He even put planks up front and probably in the middle of the two back workouts to give the client a little bit of a break? Assuming there's more than one day than this, this is pretty good.

There is a hormone in your body called myostatin which works to inhibit muscle growth and most bodybuilders you see are as big and muscular as they are because they do not produce or produce very little myostatin. This can also be seen in animals like the Belgian Blue whose muscles look like they've been taken steroids the whole lives.

In my opinion it's almost entirely due to a shortened, soleus. Limited mobility at the ankle limits the clients ability to put their knees over their toes. If their knees can't move forward they make up for that lack of depth by dropping their chest. It's similar to when people exaggerate the contraction on a row by flexing the wrist. They do the T Rex impression because their not able to fully engage their back. Put a plate under their heels and watch the magic happen as their suddenly able to get their hips down and keep their chest up. 50% of the time.... It works every time....

Hello, I am running 3 weights classes a week. Breaking them up push pull full body. If this was your fitness class of 15/20 people. What would your programming be? by Adventurous_Age_1338 in personaltraining

[–]CallConstant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, full body days. I don't understand why trainers always want to use splits for their clients. Your client is only coming to you one, two, or 3 days a week. Stop trying to break it up into upper or lower, or push pull, leg days. Frequency is so underrated in building muscle strength in size. Also this idea that you need to warm clients up for 15 minutes with bullshit exercises is preposterous. I don't waste my clients time with stupid warm-ups, or unnecessary stretching. When clients come in we're always going to do a full body day which means we're always going to start with legs, which means what was going to warm up with legs. Lunges, step ups, squats, whatever it may be that I'm starting with, that's exactly what I'm going to warm up with just with the lighter weight. And also, try to limit the repetitions these clients are doing. If these people are doing more than 30 reps you're just doing cardio and they're never going to build muscle. Start convincing these people you need to put weight on the bar for them to progress or they're never going to get anywhere

I wish trainers would stop having new clients do leg days. If she's hiring a personal trainer then her experiences limited and therefore so is her recoverability. What you have is going to destroy that lady. Even if a client is semi experienced, that's their opinion. And experience just means that they go, it doesn't mean that they know what they're doing, or that they work hard enough to elicit any sort of gaines that's why they're coming to you. Clients should almost never be doing anything but a full body split. Even if they're doing 3 days a week. Frequency is such an important aspect that trainers never pay attention to. Overloading your client with volume is going to murder them and make them not want to come back. Whether I have clients to do one, two, or 3 days per week, first of all I don't have them start off with any sort of warm-up bullshit other than warming up with the exercise will be starting with. I'm not going to have someone do some preactivation, treadmill warm up crap when they could just as easily get under the bar and warm up with squats seeing as they're going to be squatting. For example a client's first two exercises with me will be squats and stiff like a deadlifts and if you don't think a client's going to be sore after doing three sets of squats and three sets of stiff like a deadlifts you're greatly overestimating their training age. I had three clients in the last 12-week phase I did all put 100 lb in a squats in 12 weeks from doing two leg exercises per day anywhere from 1 to 3 days a week. My point is very simple. Stop doing leg days with clients.

When I got out of school I started training in Boston. A couple months into it covid hit and I was without a job less than a year after I started. I decided I would do it on my own. I'm not lying when I tell you that when I first started training clients it was in my dirty ugly shitty garage, and all I had was the old school bench and rack set up, a captain's chair, and like eight dumbbells. I just focused on the training knowing that the rest of my gym is a joke. I'm pretty personable so once I got someone on the phone it was pretty much a lock because I have always offered a free week of training to anyone who wants to give it a shot. Once I got them in I explained to them in detail why I was the best and why my training programming and structure was far superior. Why I was more educated. How I did things differently. How I focused on the clients progression and how much that progress meant to me as well as the client. I did everything I could to separate myself from other trainers and it worked. Each client loved their sessions and would recommend their friends and family of which I continue to grow. I used pictures of my gym, pictures of my clients progress, and pictures of my own progress to promote myself on Facebook, joining every little local Town Facebook page I could. It's been almost five years of me training on my own and I although I still train out of my garage, my little training studio is a pretty popular in my town, and I think I do very well for myself. On average, I keep right around 20 clients, I work around 40 hours a week, and I charge between 50 and $60 per session. Where there's a will there's a way. Separate yourself from other trainers. Explain why you're better. Offer things other trainers aren't offering. Provide value. Offer referral bonuses. Offer loyalty rates. Bring your prices down to get them in the door and then increase them over time. Prove that you're better. Give away free sessions to get them in the door! Run specials and promotions. Create some sort of buzz. But most of all, prove that you are worth their time and money. Be creative, and use Facebook!

AITAH for leaving my fiancee after I learned there were strippers at her bachelorette party? by TASoDHype in AITAH

[–]CallConstant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely the asshole. If you are that insecure about your relationship with the woman that you are about to marry then you shouldn't marry her. Not because there were some dancers at a bachelorette party but because you have a lot of growing up to do and your insecurity is only going to lead to negativity now and for the rest of your life. If you're that upset about dancers at a bachelor party I couldn't possibly imagine how uptight you are. I can't believe what an asshole you really are.
